plete article is then fixed in the rabbet or an-' gle of the door-frame,either by adhesive material or by small tacks.

In order that the invention may be more clearly understood,'reference ishad to the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Figures 1 and 2 showthe draft-excluder fixed in place. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of alength of the article with a portion of the chenille projecting, andFig. 4 is a cross-section. I

A is the chenille formed in the manner above described, inclosed in thetube, which 3 5 is of baize or otherma'terial formed by bending a stripround the chenille and stitching it at the side, as shown in Figs. 1 and2. The draft-excluder is fixed in the rabbet of the door, so that theedge of the latter will press against it when closed. As usedfor-windows, it is fixed in a corresponding position pressing againstthe edge of the sash.

The side Z) at which the tube B is stitched may be extended to form aflange for greater convenience in fixing. This is especially useful ifthe draft-excluder is to be fixed by tacks.

An improved draft excluder for windows, doors and the like, formed froma length of chenille inclosed in a tube of baize, cloth or the likematerial, and fixed in the rabbet of the door frame or correspondingpart of the win-- dow, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands in the presence of twowitnesses.
